75 Gallon Rimless Tank

[SpermWhaler]

Hello SimplyDiscus!

I thought I would share my 75 gallon rimless tank build that Ill be setting up in the coming days.

Right now I have 29 gallon planted tank with 3 juvenile discus that are growing like crazy! I needed to get a bigger tank to fit them so I thought why not get the tank I wanted right away and in doing so bought the 75 gallon rimless made by Aquarium Masters at a LFS.

Ill be getting my cannister filter an inline heater through FedEx friday to prepare for a new batch of discus Im set to pick up next Saturday.

Pool filter sand will be my substrate and I collected a bunch of rocks from the American River area to add to the environment.

I was lucky enough to get some Manzanita wood from another Simply member which I feel is really going to make the tank. Big shoutout Herbicidal!

I plan on housing a total of 8 discus in my tank, 20 rummynose tetras and a few plecos/cory's.

I dont have enough posts to post my images but I will soon!!!

Hi Mark, the tank and the Manzanita branches look fantastic. Keep the pics coming. Are you going to cycle your tank before adding the discus?

For sure! The cycle begins tonight! Just got my cannister filter, inline heater and some additional food from Fosters and Smiths today at work. Hopefully getting out a bit early to get it going!

It was great meeting you in person the other night. Glad I could contribute! Looking forward to seeing the progression of the tank and with it filled with some awesome Discus!
